So… I am one day late for my period. One day late after an extremely stressful week which would absolutely account for the delay. Yet because my husband and I managed to have sex at exactly the right time last cycle I have hopes. I have hopes after 7 years! I have hopes despite the fact that part of the problem is getting the sperm to reach the egg! I have hopes despite the fact that I’m 40 and my eggs are old. I have hopes despite the fact that the last two IVF treatments failed because the egg didn’t fertilize properly, or at all. I have hopes despite the image in the mirror reflecting back a chin full of hormonal pimples. I have PMS and still have hope! Hope? Insanity is more like it! (It’s killing me!)

NEVER lose hope – not insanity but the right mind! Yes you may get disappointed and yes it can be heartbreaking but better that and more chance at success than to have a negative mind set and possibly make things harder! I know you mentioned you have already had IVF but my friend has just fallen pregnant after years of trying after using FREE ivf from a clinic in London. In return for egg sharing you can undergo ivf for free, if all else fails – try again! Here is the link to follow and wish you both all the very best to your future. Your positive mindset is admirable!

I know that insanity all too well!! I’m hoping that this it for you.

I totally understand! I have a stash of pee sticks because I clearly enjoy wasting money and because I swear to God that someday I will magically see two lines!
